I highly recommend it." Never got a laugh. Not once. When asked to endorse a check, I used to say “This is a great check! I highly recommend it.”

Lots of people use that one. Yes, I thought the upside down check was pretty funny, too. In fact, it was some of my best first date material. Or so I thought. There may be a correlation between the use of that joke and the scarcity of second dates. The ratio of first to second dates has not improved any since retiring it, so I might revive it.

I can't believe the former doesn't get laughs? Sometimes when a friend offers me a cookie, sandwich, soda, etc., I decline, telling them, "No thanks, I'm driving." Considering it's such a ridiculous thing to say, it's actually garnered quite a few laughs. Pity laughs, of course. Sniff.

I *used* to, when presented with the check, hold it upside down and say, "Something is wrong - it was printed upside down." I retired that one, though - never got a laugh. Even after I explained it. Someone else would say, when presented with the check, "No thanks, I'm not staying for the drawing." I don't think that's gonna draw a lot of laughs, either.

When I'm at a restuarant, and the server wants to clear some plates and asks, "Finished?" I like to respond, "No, Swedish." They almost never find it amusing. That’s hysterical.
